Summary
Amenities are minimal—no toilets (bring your own supplies), no water, no fire rings, grills, or picnic tables—so come prepared. RVs are allowed, but there are no hookups. Nestled in a high-elevation pine forest near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, it’s a peaceful, shaded spot with easy access to hiking trails and scenic viewpoints. Expect cool nights, wildlife, and solitude just minutes from Grand Canyon National Park. Best visited late spring through early fall when roads are accessible and temperatures are mild.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
